STRINGSTRING
STRING protein interaction network
Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.
Known Interactions
from curated databases
experimentally determined
Predicted Interactions
gene neighborhood
gene fusions
gene co-occurrence
Others
textmining
co-expression
protein homology

mfrnMitoferrin; Mitochondrial iron transporter that mediates iron uptake. Probably required for heme synthesis of hemoproteins and Fe-S cluster assembly; Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family. (379 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
fh
Frataxin homolog, mitochondrial; Promotes the biosynthesis of heme as well as the assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe(2+) to proteins involved in these pathways. May play a role in the protection against iron-catalyzed oxidative stress through its ability to catalyze the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+). May be able to store large amounts of the metal in the form of a ferrihydrite mineral by oligomerization. Required for ecdysteroidogenesis in the prothoracic gland which is necessary for larval to pupal transition. Belongs to the frataxin family.

ABCB7
ATP binding cassette subfamily B member 7 (ABCB7) encodes a transporter that likely dimerizes to form a functional transporter. It may act in the mitochondria to transport substrates necessary for the maturation of ICS proteins, which are involved in iron homeostasis.
    
 
 0.933
AsnRS-m
Asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase, mitochondrial; ATP binding; nucleic acid binding; asparagine-tRNA ligase activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: asparaginyl-tRNA aminoacylation.
 
      0.899
Mvl
Malvolio (Mvl) encodes a member of the SLC11 family of metal ion transporters that transports divalent metal cations, including Mn[2+] and Fe[2+]. Its function has been linked to feeding-related decisions, possibly via modulation of dopaminergic signaling.
   
  
 0.872
Irp-1A
Iron regulatory protein 1A (Irp-1A) encodes a cytosolic aconitase that under iron deficiency (or if cytosolic superoxide is present) loses its iron-sulfur cluster, changes confirmation and binds iron regulatory elements (so far identified on the products of SdhB and Fer1HCH mRNAs); Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family.
    
 
 0.850
IscU
Iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme; Scaffold protein for the de novo synthesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters within mitochondria, which is required for maturation of both mitochondrial and cytoplasmic [2Fe-2S] and [4Fe-4S] proteins.
   
  
 0.833
Irp-1B
Iron regulatory protein 1B (Irp-1B) encodes a cytosolic aconitase highly homologous to the product of Irp-1A; Belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family.
    
 
 0.810
Nfs1
Cysteine desulfurase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur from cysteine to produce alanine. It supplies the inorganic sulfur for iron-sulfur (Fe- S) clusters; Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. NifS/IscS subfamily.
   
  
 0.791
bcn92
Protein bcn92; It is involved in the biological process described with: iron-sulfur cluster assembly; Belongs to the complex I LYR family.
   
  
 0.738
Fer3HCH
Ferritin; Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Belongs to the ferritin family.
